Well it sure is easier to get a Testors color match at my local hobby shop with the original green color that's for sure. I like the new color better....more subdued and elegant. Less tractor like, not that I have anything against tractors. Still not sure what color is a good match off the Testors color chart though. I put three good scratches in mine before I even had it assembled. Kind of did away with the whole inanimate object worship thing right off the bat.....which is a good thing. I enjoy mine but its a piece of equipment that I will use hard......but I like to take care of things too.
